I used to make lots of dua for Sayyidatunā RābiꜤah al-Baaṣriyyah رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْہا. One night, I had a dream in which I saw her saying, “O Bash-shār! Your gifts are conveyed to me after being covered with silken kerchiefs in trays of light. When the living make dua for the dead, they (duas) are put in trays of light after being accepted, then after being covered with silken kerchiefs they are presented to the deceased for whom the dua has been made and it is said: So-and-so has sent you this gift.”^[1]

سُـبْحٰـنَ الـلّٰــه! How benevolent is Allah Almighty! He not only blesses His servants with gifts and favours in the world, but He also blesses them with the treasure of peace and satisfaction after their death by virtue of the duas and the blessing of conveying reward made by the living.

Remember! It is apparently a small deed to convey reward to a deceased Muslim, but it carries many blessings. Unfortunately, we have become so busy with worldly activities that we do not have time to convey reward to our departed ones or have time to visit their graves and do Fatiha.

How regretful it is that we perform worldly tasks easily, but consider the deed, which carries great benefit for us and for our deceased ones, either difficult or give no importance to it. Even if a person does have time, he does not know how to convey reward, so he looks for an Imam, Muazzin or any other religious person to convey reward.

May Allah Almighty preserve Mawlana Ilyas Attar al-Qadiri دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـه who has written books and booklets on different topics to guide people like us so that we can manage our religious and worldly matters in the proper manner.
